Do the Elephnat Kings give any bonuses to other type of troops ?
As written my answer is no as it is specified it gives a bonus to elephant files and honestlty I wonder how a elephant king will give bonuses to an infantry unit or cavalry TUG 8)
But who knows between the intend and the written rule we might get surprises
I realise this may be more difficult if English isn't a first language.
Generals in an army with the Elephant Kings special rule behave as normal generals. The only difference is that they can give a +1 claim by fighting in a file of elephants in their own command. No other changes are implied by the special rule.
So a mediocre/competent/talented general fighting with a cavalry/chariotry/camelry/infantry TuG gives +1 claim as normal. A legendary general would give a +2 claim.
A general can get off an elephant and mount a horse or vice versa...

So we treatit as an "army trait" OK
